Agreement Lacking
In Senate on New
Labor Law Approach
1
Br LYLE C. WILSON
Washington -CPD- What is
going on in the U. S. Senate
is a lot of politicking, mostly
about how to
impose re
form on union
labor without
offending the
union bosses.
That will not
be easy. It
would be im
possible un
less the re-
Lyi c. Wilson form were
considerably limited.
That is what all of the poli
ticking is about. Union labor
has a great deal of money
and millions of votes. Poli
ticians upon whom the pres
sure of that money and those
votes can be brought to bear,
therefore, are likely to ap
proach labor legislation reluc
tantly and with a combination
of caution and hope.
Senate investigators have
exposed in some unions a rec-
' ord of corruption, violence,
racketeering and collabora
tion of top officials with no
torious hoodlums. Senators
seem to agree that Congress
must pass a- law. There is
- mighty little agreement on
what kind of law congress
should pass.
' Kennedy-Ives Bill
The Senate Labor commit
tee approved last June the
Kennedy-Ives "Labor Man
agement Reporting and Dis
closure Bill." It would have
required disclosure of union
financial affairs and secret
ballot election of union of
ficials. It would have forbid
den shake-down picketing.
. The bill also would have am
ended the Taft-Hartley Act to
permit replaced strikers to
vote in union representation
elections.
AFL-CIO f approved the
Kennedy-Ives Bill. The Sen
ate passed it. The Eisenhower
administration objected1 that
the bill was too weak. The
bill died In the House. The
Senate now has three major
labor reform bills: The Ken-
nedy-Ervin bill, the Goldwat-
er bill, which is the legisla
tion proposed by the Eisen
hower administration, and
the McClellan bill. The sub
stance of the Goldwater and
McClellan bills probably will
be offered as amendments to
the Kennedy-Ervin bill which
is now pending in the Sen
ate. The American Enterprise
Association, Inc., (AEA) re
quires 40 letter-sized mimeo
graphed pages to describe the
various major labor reform
bills and to analyze their dif
fering contents. There is one
basic difference between, for
example, the Kennedy-Ervin
and Goldwater "bills which
the public should easily com
prehend. '
This difference is in the ap
proach to the problem of la
bor reform. It is this: Shall
this labor reform effort seek
to correct only abuses of un
ion members or shall it also
seek to -correct theabuses of
organized labor against the
public. Sen. Barry Goldwater
(R-Ariz.) and the Adminis
stration would deal with
both types of abuses in a
single bill.
Sen. John F. Kennedy (D
Mass.), and his associates
would deal with the two
forms of abuses separately,
taking up first abuses' of un
ion bosses against union mem
bers. Kennedy promises that
if his bill is passed there will
be introduced later a bill to
protect the public against un
ion goons, violence and rack
eteering. Against this procedure it is
argued that there is little
really none at all-assurance
that a later bill to protect the
public would- be passed. AFL
CIO would oppose it. AFL-CIO
has accepted the Kennedy-Ervin
bill which would not pro
tect the public.
So long as AFL-CIO ap
proves, Senators can vote for
the Kennedy-Ervin bill with
out fear of labor vengeance at
the polls.

Middle-East Again
Foreign News Focus
By PHIL NEWSOME
UPI Foreign Editor
From the foreign editor's
assignment sheet:
Pbii Newkom
Oil
The tiny independent sheik
dom of Kuwait represents ap
proximated one quarter of
the worlds
known oil re
serves. It is a
British pro
tectorate and
now the Brit
ish fear that
once the
C o m m unists
have com
pletely swal
lowed up Iraq,
they may push into Kuwait,
Iraq's next-door neighbor on
the Persian Gulf. Kuwait is
one of Britain's biggest oU
supplier and its loss would be
a disaster of the first magni
tude for Britain. Incidental
ly, oil income equals almost
$1,000 per year for every
man, woman and child in Ku
wait. The West apparently is go
ing all-out to shore up tiny
Jordan as a Western bastion
against Communist expansion
from Iraq. Jordan's King Hus
sein, who wined and dined
across the United States all
the way from Honolulu to
New York, is getting the same
red carpet treatment in Brit
ain - even though his visit is
described officially as "pri
vate". A few days ago, Britain
shelled out another two mil
lion sterling (fore than $5
million) subsidy to the im
poverished kingdom.
A role once asigned to
Britain's Edward, Prince of
Wales, now is being consider
ed for Japan's Crown Prince
Akihito and his Princess
Michiko. They are expected
to make a tour abroad within
the next year,, capitalizing on
their tradition-breaking ro
mance. The object: To build
up goodwill for Japan and its
efforts to expand world mar
kets. Michiko, by the way,
confesses she suffered "inde
scribable tension" during the
days before her wedding. At
one point, a fitting for her 44
pound wedding kimono had
to be postponed for two hours
before she could overcome ex
treme fatigue and faintness.
High Level Mediation
Indonesia's President Su
karno is being urged by some
Afro-Asian diplomats to try
to square things between UAR
President Nasser and Iraq's
Prime Minister Kassem. They
point out he leaves Jakarta
April 23 on a round-the-world
tour. His first stop is Turkey
and there diplomats feel he
should take a few days to try
to patch up things in the
Arab world. Meanwhile. Su
karno's troubles are not over
at home. High level Indones
ian intelligence sources pre
dict the next outbreak of
trouble in rebellion-torn Indo
nesia will be Borneo. One rea
son: Rebels could come and
go much easier than they can
at present from Sumatra and
the Celebes by going through
British Borneo.
A recently announced
speed-up in Communist North
Viet Nam's farm cooperative
set-up may fore-shadow the in
troduction of a people's com
mune system in the former
French colony in the next
three or four years. ' That's
how long it took Red China
to shift from cooperatives to
communes, and Hanoi now ap
pears to have adopted Peip-
ing's timetable for Communi
zation. The Viet Namese say
they wil have cooperatives in
stalled in most of the country
by the end of this year. If
they follow the Chinses Reds,
they'll give the peasants until
1962 or 1963 to get used to
them before herding them
into communes.
